Rates are fine, but you will need 600W PSU. HD4850 is alot power hungry.
In general 400W PSU also suffices, but with HD4850 which works aroun 100-150W you need to get 600W PSU.

do you need complete PC with monitor or just a CPU, whatever comes up you can start build your PC with following specs.

Proccy - E7200/E8200/E8400 - 5400/7600/8000

Mobo - Abit IP35-E/MSI P45-Neo/Asus P5Q/P5Q Pro - 5400/6500/8200/9000

GPU - HD4850 - 10000-12000 recommended Sapphire/Palit and alot other good brands gerneral price is 10.5-11K

RAM - 2GB single stick - 1800

Burner Sony/Samsumg or whatever you wanna go for - 1200-1300

HDD your choice capacity - best you can get WD 640 GB - 3600

PSU - Coolermaster 600W - 3100 minimal requirement if you wanna hold your HD4850

CoolerMaster Elite 330 - 1700

Dell 2208 22" monitor - 17000

Prices go lil over 45K which you can adjust by selecting mobo proccy and HDD of your choice, if you do not find the price in local market appropiate according to the prices I quoted here or not getting, you can always buy things online there are many recommended online dealers with good price rate, and my all prices are quoted from online sites. So I think you can get better offers in local market.

The one u mentioned is best for u.

AMD X2 4600+ & Any board suits ur budget.
I recommend 780G or above chipset, for this u may have to go for X2 4400+ but keep it as an option.

I have finalized following things. I really can't go for more priced parts.

ViewSonic 20" VA2026W LCD Monitor 11,872 MSI P45 Neo-F Motherboard 6,720
Cooler Master 690 Computer Case 4,492 Cooler Master Extreme Power 600W 5,050

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor 8,399 - other things like - 2 GB RAM , DVD RW, HD 160GB, Speaker, etc. etc. When I will OverClock then 'ill buy Thermalright ULTRA 120 EXTREME Heatsink also.

Please Please Please answer ......
1. do we need GPU cooler if we take SC or KO edition of graphics card ( or we do it manually afterwords for that matter... ) - If YES then
please suggest GPU cooler for my part - EVGA NVIDIA e-GeForce 9600GT 512 MB 512-P3-E865-AR KO “Knock-out” Edition Graphics Card .

2. MSI P45 Neo F - above mobo allows for OverClocking ?

Most of the parts no avail in Pune at dealer, i didn;t get any good response so, I am planning to buy from www.techshop.in
Thanks,

Thanks,

"I really can't go for more priced parts." Agreed, but you can get most of them for lower price even if you buy online. Eg. 8400 for 7925,MSI P45 Neo F for 6500, 690 for 3900, Extreme Power 600W for 3150
, etc., etc.....

Buy Intel E4500 + XFX 630i.

Bought Gigabye GA-MA74GM-S2H with inbuilt AMD 740G chipset ATI RADEON 2100 + AMD 4600 + 2GB Trascend RAM for Rs 7600 from Lamington Road mumbai

That seems a good bargain. Can you tell which shop ?

 

[Zangetsu]

I would go for the AMD Phenom+780G+HD4850 setup.

1) 780G itself is very powerful chipset
2) When coupled with HD4850 in hybrid crossfire mode, it rocks

Hybrid crossfire means you can make the onboard graphics and PCIe grphics card work together in crossfire mode.
3) Phenom X3 has an extra core that will be useful for multiprocessor tasks.
4) If you want to use nVidia graphics card, go for Intel. If you want to use ATI graphics, go for AMD processor with 780G chipset or go for Intel motherboards that support Hybrid crossfire setup of ATI.

thanx...now i know the meaning of cross fire

now previous config is changed...

old plan:
Intel C2D E7200 Rs 5600/-
Zebronics Bijli w/o 400wPSU Rs. 1200/-
2GB Transcend DDR2 800MHz Value RAM Dual Channel Rs. 1800/-
600Watt PSU (which brand coolermaster RP-600-PCAR or
450W PSU (VX450W) )

new plan:
AMD Phenom X3 (5.5k)
Gigabyte 780G chipset (5k)
Zebronics Bijli w/o 400wPSU Rs. 1200/-
2GB Transcend DDR2 800MHz Value RAM Dual Channel Rs. 1800/-
600Watt PSU (which brand coolermaster RP-600-PCAR or
450W PSU (VX450W) )

l8r -- > HD4850

now is it a VFM Config...

one more thing:
which shud i go 4 in mobo:

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (Rs 5450)
MSI K9A2GM-FIH (Rs 4900)
Asus M3A78-EH (Rs 4950)

 

[desiibond]

Get the gigabyte mobo. Make sure that you get atleast rev. 1.1.

Rev.1 has smaller heatsink on chipset, resulting in heat issues. was rectified by putting a better fan in rev. 1.1

 

[MetalheadGautham]

^^You might want to consider Radeon HD3450 for around 2.2K if you are only a casual gamer, or HD3650 for 4.5K if you are a hardcore but lower resolution gamer. They run in TRUE hybrid crossfire with the HD3200 IGP. Other cards have only power off mode.

 

[Zangetsu]

OK...& wat abt PSU...which one 2 go 4

600Watt PSU (which brand coolermaster RP-600-PCAR or
450W PSU (VX450W) )
